In the month of July, year 1202, the weather was hot, and the entire Kingdom of Stonolo was caught up in the conspiracy set up by the surrounding kingdoms.
This was because the Kingdom of Stonolo was the only country that remained friendly with the Kingdom of Dunmei after the High Priest died.
This sparked reason for neighboring kingdoms to launch a rebellion against the Kindom of Stonolo. Of the three dukes who remained loyal to the pact between the original alliance of the kingdoms in the Faust Dragon Continent, two of them were overturned by the neighbouring kingdoms.
The entire kingdom had entered a chaotic civil war. Originally, these people would not have been instigated to revolt, but the main reason for the civil war was that Stonolo was ruled by an Queen! Therefore, the two aristocrats of the affiliated city Renault and Hanz were very dissatisfied.
They had grown up in an environment where men were valued more than women. Women were like slaves to them, so they started the coup with the help of their enemies.
However, things did not go as smoothly as they had imagined!
This was because the Queen of Stonolo controlled the Azure Poison Dragon. Any dragon that got close to it would be corroded by its poison!
If they couldn’t do it openly, then they decided they would do it secretly. The two dukes commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the entire Stonolo city. They cut off the supply of food and water into the city and secretly sent assassins into the city to wait for an opportunity.
The riot in the city could no longer be stopped.
Stonolo’s queen immediately used a magic communication tool provided to her from the Hanos Science and Technology Tower to ask the king of the Kingdom of Dunmei for help.
After receiving the plead for help, the Dunmei King immediately called upon his Senate to discuss the rescue. Stonolo meant too much to them. If and when Stonolo fell, the entire kingdom would fall into a siege. King Dunmei had not expected the neighboring kingdom to attack them first.
After a night of discussion, the king sent a secret order to the members of the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons.
Led by Locke, the captain of Team 4, a total of three teams were to sneak into the capital of Stonolo to provide help and support.
When Clifford received the king’s secret order, his face darkened.
“Locke! Looks like it’ll be a long time before we get to rest!”
Clifford immediately wrote down the king’s secret order and showed it to Locke.
“This time, I will still travel with you, but my mission is only to guide you. All decisions are up to you!
Locke immediately took the secret letter and glanced at it.
“Wha—! Isn’t it too hasty for the king to send me instead of anyone else?”
“That’s what I thought as well, but the senate appointed you as the leader and instructed you to reach the capital city of Stonolo before all the other teams arrive!”
Once the king’s secret order was given, there was no reason to refuse. Locke could only lower his head and start to strategize.
“Do you have a map of the city?”
Clifford immediately searched the room and found a very old map.
When he flipped it open and removed the dust on it, he could still see the word “Stonolo” written on it. This was a very old map.
Because it was a map from more than thirty years ago, Clifford started to feel a little embarrassed. He explained, “This was obtained more than thirty years ago when we met the Queen of Stonolo, so we don’t know what the city has become!”
However, there was no other way, because Stonolo had been surrounded. Even if he wanted to buy a map now, it was impossible. Moreover, the layout of the city was not something that could be bought easily.
Back then, the Queen of Stonolo had given every minister a map of the city in order to express her determination to join forces with the Kingdom of Dunmei.
Locke immediately memorized the contents of the blueprint.
“Now is not the time to consider whether it is useful or not. The most important thing is to find a way to enter the city first.
“We definitely can’t go in directly because the Queen has already used the Azure Poison Dragon to seal off all the underground water.
“Therefore, the only way to enter the city is from the sky!
“However, there is no way to enter undetected through the sky now because there’s a huge army surrounding the capital!
“Furthermore, the city’s defenses are very tight. If we fly over, we’ll be turned into dice!”
After much thought, there was no way to enter the city. Locke helplessly stored the map into the storage space.
“We’ll go to William Bay first. Once we’re there, we’ll look for Duke William. I think he’ll have some ideas!”
Clifford had no other choice. “That’s all we can do for now!”
Due to the important of the mission, they had to go to Hanos Science and Technology Tower to upgrade their equipment first.
The two arrived at Hex Technology Tower before the sun rose.
Hanos Lamira was informed of Locke’s arrival, and she immediately rushed down from the top of the tower to greet him.
Before Locke entered the tower, she had already opened the door and was waiting for him.
Seeing the girl before him, Locke had a strange feeling. He had a feeling that he would have many conflicts with her in the future.
After confirming that it was Locke, Lamira immediately pulled Locke in and led him to the automatic transport ladder in the tower.
He very much wanted to refuse, but when he turned to look, he saw Clifford winking at him. He meant for Locke to do his best to satisfy this woman’s request. Helpless, Locke could only allow her to pull him into the automatic transport ladder.
A few seconds later, they arrived at the room on the top of the tower.
As they were in a hurry, Locke asked curiously, “You are?”
Hearing the question, Lamira immediately lowered her head and introduced herself, “I am Hanos Lamira. Please take care of me from now on!”
“…” Although Locke wanted to reject her, he could not bear to say it out loud when he saw her thin frame.
“May I know why you’re looking for me?”
Lamira immediately pointed at the black staff on Locke’s waist and said, “Lend me your weapon!”
“Of course not!” Locke thought. He was about to execute a very dangerous person, and he could not simply hand over his life-saving weapon.
He immediately explained his situation.
Hearing Locke’s words, Lamira was stunned for a moment before saying, “I only need half an hour! I won’t take another minute more of your time!” Upon hearing this, Locke let down his guard!
Lamira took Locke’s weapon and immediately placed it on the machine in the middle of the room for testing..
